Biden Says Spending Bills May Not Pass This Week

President Biden on Monday acknowledged Congress may not get his economic agenda and a government funding deal done by the end of the week, but expressed optimism both would eventually pass, The Hill reports.

Said Biden: “It may not be by the end of the week. I hope it’s by the end of the week. But as long as we’re still alive, we’ve got three things to do: The debt ceiling, continuing resolution, and the two pieces of legislation. If we do that, the country is going to be in great shape.”
